Does biomass energy harm wildlife habitats?

Burning biomass (plant and wood material) should not harm wildlife habitats, if the vegetation comes from the residue of farm crops. In some parts of the world the stalks of sugar cane (bagasse) are burnt after the sugar has been extracted. This is useful. Other farm crops (corn etc) can be used.

If wildlife habitats are cut down for biomass then they will obviously be harmed and the animals endangered. This is not proper management.

Biomass is being used today because it is a way of generating electricity without adding to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Biomass is renewable energy and better than burning fossil fuels.
